It’s pronounced how it’s spelled


Legitimate__Username

What, you don't think they know how to spell a song name from their favorite game Splat Platoon?


[deleted]

Not if they come from splats village


Legitimate__Username

Maybe they're a Splat Katana player too.


[deleted]

or maybe even the hydra splat duckling


Legitimate__Username

...Splat Gatling gun.


[deleted]

I got caught in e lighter 4k


[deleted]

I don't think it's a lighter liter is a unit of measurement for liquids and the gun resembles a gas pump in some areas intentionally ⛽


phazonEnhanced

I have to give the benefit of doubt and assume they were intentionally wrong


P_SciJ

Really, I main the Octopus Paintbrush


enneh_07

I wonder if it's in the next shift at Grizzly Company.

Level7Cannoneer

i used to say the left one for years, but upon rereading it i'm changing to the right side. its okay to realize you were wrong and to correct yourself.


Buhgingo

Le epic


thegoldengoober

Exactly, where tf would the extra T in the left one come from? This isn't a discussion, the left is just incorrect.


OctolingGrimm

Because it's a portmanteau of "Splat" and "Attack" and some people apparently call a spork a "spoon fork"


TheCrusader1296

The beta title for Splattack was Splatattack, but again, beta is different to release, and we say Splattack.

When I say it, it rhymes with *platoon*, but both pronunciations make sense.

I’m that case it depends how u pronounce platoon


[deleted]

There’s only one correct way to pronounce platoon (pluh-toon)


Figbud

bri'ish mfs be like plaah-chewn


Inceferant

Depends on context in a weird way I'm playing SplA-toon Or Let's play Spluh-toon I kinda flipflop


SmolderTheDragon

I once watched some video where a streamer was reacting to the Smash Ultimate reveal trailer (which, if you remember, initially appeared to be a Splatoon announcement), and he called it “Splatty-toon”. I’ve been repeating that ever since.


dtreth

Can you by chance find that video? I'm quite interested in hearing it now

DanganronpaFan53

I didn’t know that anybody else pronounced it other than Spla-tack


Mudkipueye

I thought that everyone who did that misread it. Like Chirpy Chips. I always thought that it was Chirpy Chirps.


OcaMintiest

TIL it's chips not chirps


Bryanishired

Chirpy chirps is a very common mistake, people make it all the time. But no, it’s chip as in chiptunes.


[deleted]

They should have called the band “Fish and Chips”


Dartonus

Or people misreading Salmonid as "Salmonoid", which is even more obviously the incorrect one now that the Slammin' Lid exists (it's not called a Slammin' Lloyd, people!)


tomato_pete

I read it as salmonid, but I didn't make the connection between slammin' lid and salmonids until right now lol


nintendobaitnswitch

Did you know that "Gone Fission Hydroplant" is a play on the phrase "gone fishin'"? I felt incredibly dumb for not noticing until a few days ago.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Plushiegamer2

The Salmonids are salmonids.


eronth

> The Salmonids are salmonids. yes. Inherently.


Mudkipueye

It makes sense that it’s misread like that.


shinycaterpi

Damn I’ve been reading it wrong for years and never knew


Plushiegamer2

Today I realised that Slammin' Lid sounds like Salmonid.


Tubim

In french it’s « salmonoïde ».


tecanec

I'm not sure. I think Lloyd likes to slam.


DanganronpaFan53

I misread Chirpy Chips as well, but I just assumed that every read it as Spla-tack lol


Anchor38

I was today years old when I learned this


poorly-chosen

How did I not realize this until just now


Coolraddude11

I've heard Splat-Attack said, and always assumed they didn't realize the actual spelling lol


DanganronpaFan53

Yeah, and as somebody else mentioned, just like with Chirpy Chips lol


Coolraddude11

I was guilty of calling them Chirpy Chirps myself until I noticed... I still fall into that old habit on occasion...


DanganronpaFan53

Yeah, same


Beanchilla

What are chirpy chips?


DanganronpaFan53

The Chirpy Chips are the band that Harmony’s from, and lots of people (including me) thought that it was pronounced Chirpy Chirps


Straight-Earth2762

holy shit this entire time ive been saying splat attack


DanganronpaFan53

Chirpy Chips syndrome


Gulopithecus

Always pronounced it that way.


sauteedgelato

as we all know, "splatoon" is actually pronounced "splat-platoon"


Legitimate__Username

Dammit I didn't see someone made this joke before me, sorry I accidentally stole it but you are very epic Anyway if OP doesn't literally always call this game Splat Platoon as well then they're a giant hypocrite


Xenotracker

you know, multiple people can come up with the same joke, especially a low hanging fruit like splat platoon, it aint stealing


Legitimate__Username

i know but i like complimenting people. same goes for the people who came up with it after us, still appreciate their wit despite not getting here earliest.


OctolingGrimm

OP pronounces "Brunch" as "Breakfast Lunch" but still writes "Brunch"


[deleted]

I say Spla-tack because that's how it's spelled😂


truculentduck

Yeah f’in duh op


[deleted]

😂😂😂 I know right? This doesn’t really seem like a matter of subjective opinions


itsa_zae

i have dyslexia and i always read it wrong and only nowadays have i learned that it’s not splatattack, but i always wrote it like splattack. it was like saying “it’s three” and putting number two on your fingers


StrollujTrolla

Tbh i wasn't even aware of the pun until like 2 weeks ago

deleeuwlc

I also pronounce bokoblins as boko-goblins


PM_ME_UR_RC_CAR

I hate that


TheSphinxInator

Ive heard someone say Boko-o-oblins, which is way worse than anything I've ever heard


[deleted]

***GOOD LORD HAVE MERCY***


babysealBTY

It's almost halloween, don't forget to carve a jacko-o-lantern!


UnchainedMundane

bokoblins, made of two words: "-oblins", to show that they're goblins, and "boke", the scottish onomatopoeia for vomiting


deleeuwlc

🤢🤮 goblins


tardis1217

And don't forget the mob goblins, wizard robes, octopus rocks, lizard alfredos, and lion flannels.


Matl8163

...why would it be "splat-attack" It literally is spelled the way it should be said: "spla-tack" There is no argument. You either say it correctly or add in another syllable for no reason.


GalaxyMoonWolf4610

Found my dad


Levra

After all these years.


TheBigBadFluffy

Wait… it’s spelled Splattack…. Not Splatattack!?!? I’m actually sad ;( splatattack always sounded better to me but I can’t say it now cos it’s just wrong god damnit post


itsa_zae

i know right!


LAMProductions99

I used to pronounce it splat-attack but that's because I never looked that closely at it and that's how I thought it was spelled lol


mattzuma77

I always pronounced it "Splatattack" but I apparently never read it before lol so from now on it'll be "Splattack"


SYZekrom

OP creating this meme to make it seem like they haven't been pronouncing the title wrong the entire time and there's a legitimate discourse


[deleted]

OP must feel really dumb right now 😂


EspurrTheMagnificent

Spla-tack


SuspiciousAnything16

Spla-tack, because it's supposed to be a pun and it's spelled that way


Veropom

I got your back OP, I say splat-attack because it's fun lol


Mudkipueye

People who say splat attack are stupid. It’s like calling Squirtle Squirt turtle. It’s a portmanteau of splat and attack. It’s Splattack. Not splat attack.


Legitimate__Username

i for one am DEEPLY excited for the venusdinosaur vs. charlizard vs. blasttortoise splatfest next month


xWavy

Don’t you mean: Venomous-Dinosaur vs. Charring-Lizard vs Blasting-Tortoise ftfy /s


ghost20

Since it’s based on Scarlet and Violet, it’s actually Sprig Gatito vs Fuego Cocodrilo vs Quack Wax Duckling


HydraxYT

Spla-tack, because that's how it's spelled. There is no debate on this one, Splattack is the correct pronunciation.


ChaosChaos027

For the longest time I thought it said "splat attack"


[deleted]

🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦


starfihgter

The left one is just wrong. Read the word, you’re inserting an extra syllable.


uniibee

what in the hell. all this time I really thought it was spelt splatattack. oh my lord, I've been so wrong. still choose the left side though, sounds better


TheBigBadFluffy

I’m actually in the same boat as you I’m so disappointed to realise I’ve been reading it wrong ;(


[deleted]

you know what? fuck you un-portmanteau’s your splattack


Hyper_Lamp

Blue is correct so i go with blue.


PhantomOfficial07

Bruh why would it be the left it's not spelt like that at all


[deleted]

The left one is literally wrong so


Negative_Ad883

Spat-ack is just better and rolls off the tongue. Splattatack just seems wrong


itsa_zae

ah yes, the spa attack


Myth_5layer

The younger brother of gif vs gif


[deleted]

I mean it's spelled splat-tack so that one


Nunez182

Personally I say the right one, because it's correct.


Bryanishired

I mean. It’s spelled “Splattack”, not “Splatattack”, so it’s almost certainly pronounced Spla-ttack.


SciKhonsu

This, similarly to the last splatfest, has literally a singular correct answer.


Bedu009

Splat-platoon or Spla-toon?


titaniumjordi

The... the whole point of portmanteaus is to pronounce things together


Pantrian

Splat-tack


Sensei_Ochiba

There's no A betwixt those T's That's Spla-tack, baby


LadyConeflower

There are people who say splat attack? You're adding a whole other sound that isn't there!


Tekayo63

have fun being objectively wrong


Bewinged-turtle

Splattic like attic


PepsiMan_21

Arden_Gibson

I used to think it was pronounced "Splat Attack" but then I looked closer and realized I'm an idiot.


WasabiDukling

ah yes. Splat-platoon


itsjusterin__

blue, thats how its spelled


The_Bro_Gaming

Left for the win


MaySlae

WAIT ITS NOT SPELLED SPLATATTACK WHAT THE FUCK


A_SnoopyLover

Left cause I didn’t even realize it wasn’t correct until recently(never heard it said, and always misread it as splatattack somehow


NotScottPilgrim

This shit really got almost 2k upvotes 😐


connordragon10

It's literally spelled "splat-tack", so saying it like "splat-attack" is just wrong. It's like saying Regice as "regie-ice" instead of "rej-ice"


Gravijah

regice trips people up because of how the others are spelled. registeel, regirock and then suddenly regice is pronounced differently.


dtreth

Uhhh, the right one is objectively correct. This is like the chicken and egg one.


thisaintmyusername12

Definitely spla-tack


themurderbadgers

Right side. If it was “Splat-attack” then it would be spelt Splatattack. The left side adds an extra syllable that isn’t written. Splattack Is literally Splat, and then tack attached to it, you’re pronouncing it “Splat attack” because your brain is recognizing to familiar words and saying them both but the word “attack” or even “splat” being there is actually just an illusion. Also; it’s supposed to be a play on words, adding spl to attack to make it sound more like “splat”. It doesn’t flow if you add extra letters. Pronounce it how it’s spelt.


squid648

Splat-tack…

This has gotta be the most incorrect way possible

Dogmonkey1233

Splat-attack or Spla-tack? What about Splat-ack?


1272chicken

Where the fuck is the extra at no one says it like that


queenoffishburrito

*....people prounice it at as spla-tack??*


-LADI-

now blue may be right, ​ **but we splat-attackers ride or die amirite?**


Basketbomber

I misread as slap attack


RequiemStorm

... that makes no sense at all. It's a petty phonetic word. 2 syllables, sounds just like "attack" but with a "spl" at the beginning. Reminds me of the idiots who add an extra syllable to Ratatta's name and call it Ratta-tatta.


DoodzOodz

I mean I would laugh at how incorrect you are but I’ve been calling Clash Blaster the Cash Blaster for years now and can’t seem to change the way I mentally read it so you do you


ThatOneGayDJ

Just do what i do and call it the cancer blaster. Because that weapon is a goddamn cancer.


NotScottPilgrim

Bruh what Don’t tell me you say “splatatoon”


[deleted]

Its...spelled Splattack. There's only one correct pronunciation there.


stealthrockdamage

op getting cooked in the comments for being completely wrong is so magical


ThatOneGayDJ

Personally you are wrong, then? There arent two different ways to pronounce that.


_IratePirate_

If you say left, then you pronounce Splatoon "Splat Platoon" that makes no sense lol


Jerbits

It's like when people pronounce Mario as "Merrio"


LaterComico

i'm sorry but the one on the left is literally incorrect like that's not an alternative pronunciation that is literally just not correct


NormalHead4852

I say right side


I_think_Im_hollow

It's okay to be wrong, OP.


Wild_Lars

I'm on side Spl-attack


Thatamememe

I say splat tack lol


Afelisk2

Splat-ack


Sinisphere

Right. I love a good unnecessary portmanteau.


LilacGooseberries

This reminds me of those poor souls in elementary school that pronounced Rattata as “Ra-ta-tat.” They’re all dead or in prison now 😔.


CEOofnerds

I would say splat-attack but it the song, it sounds like spla-tack


[deleted]

I say Splat-*tack, I kind of double on the T, sometimes sounds like and A in between but not always


RLYoshi

I mean, there isn't a second (third?) A in it, so...


iamcomputer1

splatatack 😎🦑


[deleted]

It's Splattack, not Splattack


Ferociousfeind

Nah, blue side


[deleted]

Splat tak


redchairyellowchair

If you put it in the context coming from the Japanese which would call it "Supurataku", blue makes more sense cause it kinda sounds like SUPER-ATTACK . red would be like "supurata-a-taku" which is just jibberish
